February 28, 2024 - The explosive nose serves up licorice, smoke, cherry liqueur, dried flowers, dark red cherries, blueberries, smoke, and Asian slices explodes in the perfume. The wine is palate staining, dense, earthy, full-bodied, and intense, the wine is also balanced, symmetrical and dense. The lush, opulent, youthful finish expands, and intensifies as it lingers on your palate. If you prefer fruit-forward wines, open and decant. Else, wait a bit. Drink from 2025-2060.

July 31, 2023 - Dinner with the team at an old school ny steakhouse last night. Spotted mags of 2015 chave hermitage for less than half market price and thought what the hell! Drinking beautifully. Such elegance and authority with no hard edges at all. Surprising amount of sweet red fruit in the traditional black fruit mix. Obviously, decades to go but already very pleasurable even in the larger format.
PS Don't bother asking where as we drank the last 2 mags!3 people found this helpful Comments (2) -

December 23, 2022 - Really smooth, a little young, could use a bit more time, but I really liked it and will be buying as much as I can.

December 7, 2022 - Salon Focofi Paris walkabout and dinner, so no detailed tasting notes. Nose of dark fruit, beefy, funky, still very young, but will be good, no signs of undue heat. Best after 2030. 96+
